"That … that's …"
Lü Dongbin was speechless just then, shock filling his face.
Strengthening all thirty-six premium-grade flying swords up to acquired soul treasure?
After all, his set of thirty-six supreme-grade flying swords came from the same source. Their value was so high that they weren't much inferior to a high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure. Naturally, their power wouldn't be much inferior as well. Once all of them were strengthened to the level of Acquired Spirit Treasures, even the most ordinary Acquired Spirit Treasures could be used together to unleash sword techniques and sword formations, and their power would definitely skyrocket.
When that happens, Lü Dongbin was confident that he could fight a true Grand Luo.
Even so …
Thirty-six acquired soul treasure flying swords, and a set at that …
Lü Dongbin's scalp tingled at the thought of the price he would have to pay.
In the end, his voice became much softer and he stammered, "Umm … Brother Jiang He, I've used up all my fortune to refine this set of immortal swords, and I don't have much savings now … if it's possible, could I trouble Mister Jiang to help me refine and strengthen three of them?"
"You're being too polite, Brother Pure Yang!"
Jiang He smiled. "We hit it off right from the start, so I'll just put the item crafting fee on credit … and I'll definitely strengthen all thirty-six flying swords for you today!"
Delighted, Lü Dongbin took out three porcelain bottles with a flip of his hand and handed it to Jiang He, saying, "I heard that Brother Jiang He is in urgent need of some high-grade immortal pellets and medicine. I have rank-three immortal pellets here from the pellet refinist of the Ren Sect, and it's called the Dao Enlightenment Pellet. It's said that the ancestral master of the Ren Sect had developed the recipe based on the Dao pattern on the Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment, and it's an eighth-grade immortal pellet that is very useful even for Grand Luo."
"What?"
A Golden Immortal behind Lu Dongbin exclaimed with surprise, and his eyes opened wide as he cried out, "It's actually Dao Comprehension Pills … According to legend, if there's enough Dao Comprehension Pills, it's enough to push a Golden Immortal to the Golden Immortal Realm. Daoist Chun Yang is actually willing to give them out?"
"Nonsense!"
Lü Dongbin sneered. "The Dao Enlightenment Pellets only serve as a support, and it would simply make it easier for Golden Immortals to grasp the Dao of Grand Luo.
What if they use the Dao Enlightenment Pellets to cultivate?
As for those who have no hope of becoming Grand Luo … even if you eat the Dao Enlightenment Pellets as food?
Would you even have a hammer? "
The Golden Immortal laughed.
He said, "Fellow Daoist Chunyang, don't be agitated. I only heard it from others.
It doesn't count, it doesn't count. "
Lu Dongbin glanced at this Golden Immortal.
"And the Dao Comprehension Pill is extremely difficult to refine?
The required medicinal ingredients could only be found in the depths of the Celestial Battlefield. The value of a single Dao Comprehension Pill was even higher than a mid-grade Immortal Artifact, and it was priceless … But what if it could really push a Golden Immortal to the Golden Immortal Realm?
Even the Saints would take action?
He personally went to look for spirit herbs to refine Dao Enlightenment Pills in large quantities! "
If Golden Immortals were considered experts in the Celestial Battlefield, then Grand Heavenly Immortals …
He would be a giant of a region.
A Grand Luo who wielded an acquired soul treasure was enough to sweep through an entire region.
There were even some ancient Grand Luo in the celestial battlefield who wielded powerful Connate Soul Treasures?
His strength was no weaker than a Quasi-Sage.
As for these things?
Jiang He did not want to know too much at the moment. As for Dao Enlightenment Pellets?
This made him extremely interested, and he immediately took the three bottles of Dao Comprehension Pills.
He took one out.
This medicinal pill?
It was almost the same size as the glass ball he played with as a child.
It was scarlet all over and had a faint medicinal aroma. There was also a unique Dao presence that was similar to the Dao Tea of Enlightenment, but that was all.
If the Dao Aura of the Enlightenment Tea was said to be 100, then the Dao Aura of this elixir was barely 1.
"This Dao Enlightenment Pellet is far inferior to the Tea of Enlightenment … but it would be good for farming Farm Points." The thought crossed Jiang He's mind then. There were ten Dao Enlightenment Pellets in each bottle, and three bottles meant thirty Dao Enlightenment Pellets.
Putting away the three bottles, Jiang He smiled. "These Dao Enlightenment Pellets are not bad, but there are too few of them. Brother Pure Yang, could you get more of these?"
Thirty Dao Enlightenment Pellets were not cheap and were equivalent to forty to forty-five mediocre-grade immortal items. Still, it was a far cry from strengthening a set of premium-grade flying swords to the level of an acquired soul treasure.
Lü Dongbin was naturally aware of that, and mused to himself for a moment before saying, "I only have three bottles of these Dao Enlightenment Pellets. If you need them, I'll think of a way to get more after we return to the celestial battlefield, Mister Jiang."
After weighing the pros and cons, he offered a number, "I could gather another hundred bottles of Dao Enlightenment Pellets for you, Mister Su, as payment for strengthening my immortal items. What do you think?"
"Alright!"
Jiang He nodded in agreement.
Still, an idea occurred to him.
He could try planting the Dao Enlightenment Pellets first. After his farm leveled up, he could rely on them to earn Farm Points, and perhaps work closely with Lü Dongbin.
The other immortals took out their own immortal items and mystic treasures as well.
Each of the Golden Immortals had at least one premium-grade immortal item, and one of them even had an inferior-grade acquired soul treasure — a spear that was entirely blood-red and exuded the stench of blood.
"May I ask for your name, Mister Su?"
Jiang He was taken aback.
There were probably not many Golden Immortals with Acquired Numinous treasures. To be able to possess Acquired Numinous treasures at the Golden Immortal realm, one either had a huge fortuitous encounter, was powerful, or … had a backer or background.
And just as he expected.
The Golden Immortal who was around 1.5 meters tall and appeared rather ordinary and even a little silly offered Jiang He a fist-palm salute and said, "I am Tu Xing Sun, a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect."
Jiang He's eyes widened.
What the hell!
Tu Xing Sun?
He was a famous person in folklore. His master was Ju Liu Sun, one of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and he was one of the more famous third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect. In terms of fame, he did not lose out to Yu Yuan of the Jie Sect.
Still, he was a class lower in ability — Yu Yuan was already a Grand Luo, while Tu Xing Sun was still a full-fledged Golden Immortal.
"Ah, Brother Tu Xing Sun. It's an honor to meet you."
Jiang He offered a fist-palm salute, which Tu Xing Sun assumed to be mere courtesy, and promptly returned the gesture.
Jiang He accepted the spear and studied it carefully, smiling. "Spear mystic treasures are quite rare."
At the same time, he recalled what he knew about the myths … it seemed that the myths did not mention that Tu Xing Sun was adept at using a spear?
Still, since he was a disciple of the Chan Sect, they could work together. Jiang He's tone then changed as he said, "Brother Tu Xing Sun, I could improve your spear by one grade to become a mediocre-grade acquired soul treasure, but as for the payment …"
Delighted, Tu Xing Sun quickly said, "I'm willing to pay two premium-grade immortal items as payment if the enhancement is successful."
Jiang He shook his head and said, "I have a lot of premium-grade immortal items, and I'm a grandmaster in item refinement. I could make them with a wave of my hand if I need them, but I need medicinal pellets of a grade similar to the Dao Enlightenment Pellets … of course, it doesn't matter if they are a little inferior, but it would be even better if I could get them in bulk."
"Medicinal pellets?"
Tu Xing Sun thought about it and took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket. Inside was a crystalline immortal pellet glimmering in immortal radiance, and he said, "This is a rank-seven Body Honing Pellet that strengthens an immortal's physique. It may not be as valuable as the Dao Enlightenment Pellets, but I could provide it in bulk."
"Oh?"
Jiang He's face twitched and he asked, "How many do you have, Brother Tu Xing Sun?"
"I don't have many, just around eighty. Still, the Body Honing Pellets originate from the Chan Sect in the first place …"
"Alright!"
Jiang He waved his hand grandly and said, "I'll strengthen this spear for free today, Brother Tu Xing Sun. I hope I could make a deal with you when we head to the celestial battlefield in the future."
Tu Xing Sun agreed, but he was utterly confused.
A deal?
Buying Body Honing Pellets?
Though it was a rank-seven immortal pellet, it was less valuable than some rank-six immortal pellets …
After all, the effect of strengthening an immortal's physique was not outstanding.
Most cultivators' physiques were not that strong, and they would not deliberately buy Body Honing Pellets to strengthen their physique. It was only when their immortal physique crumbled in battle or cultivation that they would use Body Honing Pellets to rebuild their immortal physique …
Why would Jiang He need it?
Jiang He did not say, and he did not ask.
After some small talk, Jiang He gestured for Dumbo to come up and handed it all the immortal items and mystic treasures.
The immortals were stunned, but Jiang He smiled. "No need to panic, everyone. My dog has been with me for a year and knows a thing or two about item refinement, so you don't have to worry about leaving these treasures to it … How about this: all of you go for a stroll around Lingzhou City, and the treasures would be refined and strengthened at night."
The immortals had a 'who would believe you' look, but …
They could not take the treasures back now that Jiang He had them, could they?
At the very least, the treasures would still be there even if they failed to strengthen them. Surely a great Grand Luo like Jiang He would not steal everyone's mystic treasures, would he?
…
After seeing off the Golden Immortals, Jiang He entered his farm.
Dumbo was giggling foolishly while hugging a pile of mystic treasures, and its dog eyes narrowed into slits when it saw Jiang He enter. "Hehe … Master, there are so many mystic treasures. Why don't we take them all?"
"You're the boss on Earth anyway. Who would dare to say otherwise if you say so?"
"I've even thought of an excuse for you. When the time comes, just say that your house was robbed and all your mystic treasures are gone … it's up to those fools if they believe it or not."
Jiang He was speechless.
He gave Dumbo a long look, a thousand curses galloping through his mind.
Does this dog want me to rob it?
Shaking his head, Jiang He said, "I, Jiang He, am a man of honor and righteousness. How could I do something so despicable?"
"Alright, stop smiling like an idiot. Hurry up and dig a hole to plant these mystic treasures … Oh, right …"
As he spoke, he nonchalantly redeemed a dozen packs of Living Soil of the Nine Heavens and threw them to Dumbo.
As the immortal items and mystic treasures were planted, they quickly grew out thanks to the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens. All at once, the entire farm shone with a myriad of colors and immortal radiance. Around three hours later, Jiang He plucked the immortal items he had planted and strengthened, and could not help smiling …
He had earned over thirty million Farm Points, and every immortal item and mystic treasure had improved by one grade.
Handing the immortal items and mystic treasures to Dumbo, Jiang He said, "Lü Dongbin and the others are probably at Lingzhou City right now, so give them these mystic treasures … by the way, remember to advertise and spread the word. These immortals all have factions backing them, and we have to do it ahead of time so that we can do business at the celestial battlefield."
Dumbo accepted the many mystic treasures and put his hands on his hips, puffing out his canine head, an air of dominance showing on his canine face.
Weren't those immortals a bunch of fools looking down on me?
And now, those mystic treasures and immortal items were personally planted by me!
Ignoring Dumbo, Jiang He called out to Trumbo, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, and the Wise Rock Monkeys to plant the immortal crystals again …
Soon, news that Jiang He had strengthened Lü Dongbin and the other immortals' immortal items and mystic treasures spread.
In particular, Lü Dongbin's set of thirty-six premium-grade flying swords were all inferior-grade acquired soul treasures …
Like a tidal wave, the news crashed onto the heads of the immortals who had returned to the homeworld as reinforcements.
Add that to Jin Sidao's promotion …
The next morning, hundreds of immortals arrived at Jiang He's doorstep.
Dumbo was standing there, cursing incessantly, and yet the immortals were all nodding and bowing, treating Dumbo with immeasurable respect.
Dumbo simply felt refreshed and said flatly, "Trumbo, come here."
"Register the mystic treasures and weapons of these brothers, and have them hand in all the mystic treasures and immortal items that they need to be strengthened. I'll forge them myself … by the way, you can't skimp on the rewards!"
"My master has already said that we don't want immortal crystals, but immortal pellets and spirit medicines, preferably in bulk!"
…
Inside the mansion, Jiang He, who was observing the activity outside with his immortal will, could not help smiling.
Not bad.
Having a dog like that in his house would save him a lot of effort.
"What a shame."
"I have to pluck them myself …"
Sighing inwardly, Jiang He hugged Boa and communicated to Dumbo through acoustics, "I'll give you some Living Soil of the Nine Heavens later. Remember to use it sparingly."
Outside his door.
Sora's sweet voice could be heard, "Master, breakfast is ready. Would you like to come down and eat, or should I bring it to your bedroom?"
"Bring it over."
Jiang He's lackadaisical voice could be heard, and soon, Sora, dressed in a maid costume, swayed her body as she entered the bedroom with milk and bread. Boa, who had just gotten out of bed and dressed said coquettishly, "I'll feed you, Master."
Sigh!
Jiang He chuckled bitterly and breathed a long sigh.
The daily life of a Grand Luo …
It was so dull and boring!
